Nava-Graha Yantra





Home > Yantra > Nava-Graha Yantra


"Nava" means nine and "graha" means planets, so these yantras are for propitiation of negative effects of planets or to increase beneficial planetary influences. Puja must be performed and mantras chanted as with all yantras. Again the aspirant must observe vegetarianism, refrain from using oils, and eat before sunset on the day of the specific puja.

The yantras may be written or inscribed in gold, silver, or copper. The yantras may be placed in a sacred place in the home, or made into talismans to be worn around the neck.

All mantras for the individual planetary yantras will be given in the individual planet´s section within the planetary, astrological/astronomical section of this site.

There is also a combination of all planetary yantras in one single yantra for balancing all planetary effects. For this the "Navgraha" mantra may be chanted 1000 times a day for 45 days for purification of the yantra thus:

Mantra

"Om Surye Namaha, Chandraye Namaha, Budhaye Namaha, Brithaspataye Namaha, Mangala Namaha, Shukraye Namaha,Shaniaye Namaha, Rahuaye Namaha, Ketuaye Namaha, Nava Grahaye Namaha."

Besides the geometric yantras there are "numerical yantras" for each planet. Each is based on a root number. A square is drawn or inscribed and divided into 9 equal parts (3 vertically and 3 horizontally). A number goes into each of the nine squares, with the planet´s "base number" in the top middle square All the numbers within the yantra added in any direction vertically, horizontally, or diagonally will add up to the same total sum. Examples of the numeric yantras for the nine individual planets are shown on the above page. The Geometric yantras for planets are shown in the color section.
